Question

Consider the diagram below,

• A. If y = Force, x = Time, Area equals to change in kinetic energy.
• B. If y = Force, x = Displacement, area equals to work done by force.
• C. If y = Acceleration, x = Time, area equals to change in position.
• D. None of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B If y = Force, x = Displacement, area equals to work done by force.

Area under Force-Displacement diagram gives work done.

Area under Force-Time diagram gives impulse (change in momentum).

Area under Acceleration-Time diagram gives change in velocity.
